USSR 1991

"Okay, General Secretary. I will wipe out all the rebels." Rogionov nodded seriously.

Hearing Rogionov's assurance, Yanayev was very satisfied with his attitude, he said suggestively. "Now you are just the special operations commander of the Caucasus Military Region. There will be a surprise waiting for you after this war ends smoothly."

This good news immediately revived Rogionov. What the general secretary alluded to was what he had always dreamed of, the control of the commander-in-chief of the Caucasus Military Region.Rogionov said excitedly, "I will definitely live up to the general secretary's expectations and fight a beautiful war."

While Rogionov sent Yanayev away, the last brutal battle on the Grozny front was about to begin. Before the final offensive began, Soviet armored forces surrounded the suburban towns of Grozny. With the construction fortifications, the final desperate resistance was carried out.

The disheartened rebels set up obstacles on the road and ambushed anti-tank mines to resist the advance of the Soviet army. Behind them was Grozny, with no way to retreat.

The well-equipped and passionate Soviet army advanced forward, and before their eyes was the last city to be occupied, and they were bound to win.

The first note of the prelude to the final battle finally sounded.

The hail and storm rockets known as the "Soviet Organ" are ready. The rockets and various artillery shells just delivered by the logistics department have given the armored troops on the front line the confidence to spend extravagantly. The rockets are arranged in a dense formation, and the direction is aligned Head to the last stronghold in Grozny.

"All units, listen up, the rocket launcher is fired, and all the rockets are fired." The commander said to the walkie-talkie.

As soon as the words fell, the hail and storm wind like a pipe organ behind him fired rockets fiercely towards the sky. Every rocket fired a dazzling flame from the tail, and rushed into the sky like fireworks.These rockets, which had just made great achievements in Naurskaya, once again aimed at the disadvantaged Chechen militants.

The buildings in the town were constantly blown up, the collapsed buildings and dust buried the armed personnel trying to escape, the Shilka River self-propelled artillery was blown into a pile of scrap iron, and the T62 tank disappeared in billowing smoke.If you observe from the sky above the city, you will see countless yellow light bars precisely falling on the positions of the rebels, and after a huge explosion, they will turn into smoky ruins.The bombing lasted only a few tens of seconds, and the front line became quiet after 1 minute.

When the observers reported that all the armored units of the rebels were destroyed, the commander finally ordered the armored units to move forward. At the same time, the SU-25 attack planes and Hind helicopters near the front-line airport also began to take off to the front line to support the infantry.After the simple and reliable SU-25 attack aircraft was dispatched, the Soviet army's progress will no longer be as difficult and slow as it was at the beginning.

Although the armored forces were destroyed, a considerable part of the rebels in Chechnya did not lose their fighting spirit. They hid in buildings and fired cold shots at soldiers fighting with infantry and tanks, or fired rockets to attack tanks.However, the SU-25 and MI-24 hovering at low altitude nearby quickly made them suffer.

After the three rebels on the roof overturned a T72 tank with TOW anti-tank missiles supported by the West, the rebels cheered and shouted Allah, and the snipers and machine gunners on the side were suppressing the tanks on both sides. The soldiers fought back, buying him the opportunity to reload the next anti-tank missile.

Just when he was about to launch the next anti-tank missile, a huge buzzing sound suddenly tore the eardrums of the rebels, and even the small stones on the ground shook.The rebels raised their heads subconsciously, and saw a SU-25 attack plane rushing towards them. The 30mm double-barreled cannon fired at the roof. Even the concrete walls can't withstand the attack of fighter jets, let alone the three weak people.

The three people on the roof quickly dropped their weapons and tried to escape, but it was too late. The SU-25 attack plane directly tore their bodies, and even pierced a big hole in the roof.

The soldiers poked their heads out of the bunker and saw that the house that was still intact just now had become half ruins and half remaining after the SU-25 flew by.

"Soldiers, you can move on now, I wish you good luck, goodbye." The SU-25 driver turned a corner and continued to support the armored units fighting elsewhere.

With the support of artillery fire and attack aircraft, the troops moved forward smoothly, and the militants who dared to fight against the Soviet army were sent directly to see Allah, completely disintegrating their last will to fight.

The steel army marched all the way, and the political commissar waved the red flag to boost morale, and at the same time held a loudspeaker to persuade the rebels who were still resisting to surrender.

"This is the last warning from the Soviet. Put down your weapons and give up resistance, otherwise our armored vehicles will crush every inch of Chechnya and drain your last drop of blood. This land will never see another Chechen rebels!"

Chapter 122 The First Telephone Negotiation

The enemies in the towns on the outskirts of Grozny were all wiped out. To the surprise of the attacking troops, none of the rebels surrendered until the last one fell.And the Soviet troops really fulfilled the warning to send all the rebels to hell. On this day, the armored division attacking Grozny won the title of Dudayev's rebels who were frightened, active hell.

Yanayev got off the plane at Moscow International Airport, and after returning to the Kremlin, he received a major victory from the front line. His brows that had been wrinkled for several days finally relaxed, and he smiled for the first time. Defense Minister Yazov, who came to report the victory, said, "Comrade Yazov, hearing this news, I feel as if winter is finally about to pass, and Chechnya ushered in a new round of spring."

Before Yazov could reply, Yanayev added, "Hehe, but it is only a short spring, and there will be many headaches in Chechnya in the future. This problem must be solved, otherwise there will be trouble for the Hidden dangers will be laid for future divisions."

Yazov reported the recent situation to the general secretary, including the corruption in the army that Yanayev was most concerned about.After the report, he returned to the office to continue working.Just a few minutes after sitting down, the phone next to him suddenly rang. Defense Minister Yazov had just answered the outside phone and said hello, when his face suddenly changed.

Yazov with a gloomy face said yes, while answering the phone while writing on paper, and at the same time handed the note to the office assistant while hanging up the phone, and then hurriedly walked towards the president's office, walking back and forth. He said loudly, "Quickly, connect me to the director of the KGB Technical Bureau, Jenolanov. Later, a call will be made to the President's Office, and I will find out where the signal of that call is coming from!"

The civilian staff working at the desk looked up and saw Minister of Defense Yazov walking towards the general secretary's office. He was afraid of slowing down a step, thinking about what major event made the Minister of Defense so disturbed.

Yanayev, who was tired from traveling and traveling, was just about to lie on the sofa and take a nap, when a hasty knock on the door interrupted his drowsiness.He had to get up from the sofa and say please come in to the person at the door.

As soon as the voice fell, Yazov rushed in from the door, and he said anxiously to Yanayev, "I just received a call from Kadyrov from Chechnya, saying that I have something important to talk to Yanayev. President Nayef, please discuss."

"What? That old fox couldn't stand it so quickly?" Yanayev sat up from the sofa, tidied his clothes, and then asked, "When did it call, and what is it going to discuss with me?" matter?"

"I don't know." Yazov shook his head. "He just asked me to tell him your external contact number, and said that he will call you personally at three o'clock this afternoon. Please make sure you are by the phone when the time comes."

"Then did you ask Comrade Denoranov to bring the equipment?" Yanayev asked. Kadyrov disappeared after issuing the last statement. No one knows where he is now. If he had personally called, then the specific location of Kadyrov could be determined.

Yanayev did not trust Dudayev, nor did he trust Kadyrov. Since Kadyrov could trade with him, he could also betray the Soviet.Therefore, Yanayev must firmly control the intelligence information of both parties in order to achieve unexpected results.

How could the shrewd Yazov not have thought of this? He said to Yanayev, "I notified Comrade Janolanov immediately, and I must have arrived by now."

Half an hour later, Jenolanov appeared in Yanayev's office with a lot of equipment, which looked as antique as surveillance equipment in old movies, but it was the top of the era monitoring equipment.After a few 10 minutes of tossing, Comrade Jenolanov finally installed all the electronic equipment. He said to Yanayev, "When the call comes, we can track down Kade Where did Rove call from?"

What followed was a long and boring wait, waiting for Kadyrov to call.Time passed by, just when Yanayev thought it was an early April Fool's Day joke, the silent phone rang suddenly.

Yanayev answered the phone and said hello.

A familiar name came from the other end of the phone in an unfamiliar tone, "General Secretary Yanayev, I am the former chief of staff of the Chechen rebels, Kadyrov. I am very glad that you can find time to talk to me during your busy schedule. "

Yanayev winked at Jenolanov who was beside him, and the latter immediately began to prepare to track down the location of Kadyrov's phone call.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Kadyrov, in my eyes there is no such thing as the so-called Chief of the General Staff of Chechnya. You are a citizen of the Soviet Union and will always be." Mistakes covered up the past, and implied that he had a friendly conversation with Kadyrov on an equal and friendly level.

"That's good, President Yanayev." Kadyrov said, "Oh, by the way, don't think about asking your KGB people to find out where the call came from. Even if you track down the location, and I wasn't there either. So let's get straight to the point, Your Excellency."

Yanayev was stunned for a moment, and he turned his head to look at Yazov and Janolanov, who also met his eyes with doubts and shrugged helplessly.Yanayev could only hold the microphone tightly and asked, "The topic? What topic do you want to discuss with me?"

"The future." Kadyrov finally stopped talking about it, and said straight to the point, "The future of Chechnya, after Dudayev's rebels are wiped out, I wonder how Moscow will treat Chechnya? Like before Established in the Chechen Soviet Secretary, but the war that has been started will not be extinguished so easily."

"I know." Yanayev said lightly, "Chechens want independence and freedom, and I can give you freedom. But if I don't give it, you can't rob it, and you can't betray the Soviet. Any traitor who violates the will of the Soviet will be punished." Punishment, this is what I said."

Kadyrov was silent for a while, and he said, "On behalf of the Chechen Wahhabi faction, I apologize for the harm and disaster caused by the division of the motherland, and hope that the motherland can accept us again."

Kadyrov's apology was not accepted by Yanayev, who continued, "I need an apology now, but I want to know if the Chechen armed forces wiped out all the Wahhabi factions that wanted independence, what would you Sufis do?" What should I do to satisfy me? Standing on my own or occupying the mountain as king? There is also the religious issue of Islam. I have emphasized many times that our political party is an atheist party and will not back down on the issue of religious spread. There will be no compromise. If any of you want to establish a fundamentalist regime in the Caucasus region, or a country where Muslim law is above the secular, you must first ask the real power in this region. I disagree, Nobody."

"There is also the constitution promulgated by the Soviet government, which is the foundation of a country. I will shoot anyone who dares to advocate such things as Islamic law in the Caucasus region."

Yanayev has already expressed his attitude that other issues can only be discussed after these conditions on religious issues are agreed, otherwise everything will be avoided.Yanayev is familiar with the piss of those Islamic sects. If you dare to spread extremist teachings on my territory, I will give you a lard bullet and send you to Hell.

Kadyrov on the other end of the phone chose to remain silent. Yanayev also knew that these conditions were unacceptable to the other party. He continued, "Call me after you have thought about these issues, or come to Moscow for negotiations. , we all welcome you friendly, that's all, take care, Comrade Kadyrov."

In the end, as if he remembered something, Yanayev kindly told Kadyrov, "You have torn your face with the Wahhabi faction represented by Dudayev. Be careful that they will launch a bomb attack. After all, in the future Chechnya needs a tough leader like you."

Hearing Yanayev's concerned greetings, Kadyrov finally laughed. He said, "Although there are some differences in political views, you are still a very frank and worthy friend, Mr. President. Unlike some fake Politicians like the dead Yeltsin."

"Hehe, you are the same, Comrade Kadyrov." Yanayev said with a smile, "If possible, the Soviet Union is willing to become a loyal friend of the Caucasus Muslim world."

"When one day we can reach an agreement, you will be our friend, Your Excellency."

Although the initial negotiation was a bit bumpy, it ended in a happy way.Yanayev raised his head and asked Denoranov, "How is the tracking going, Comrade Denoranov. Do you know where this call is coming from?"

"The call came from Turkey." Jenolanov said with a distressed face, "We can only trace the source of the signal to the border area of ​​Turkey, but I don't know where the real speech is. This kind of preparedness The incoming calls are often well-prepared, and it is not so easy for people to find their whereabouts."

"Huh, it's okay, you did your best. I'm only a little curious about what method he used. Even our top personnel couldn't find his whereabouts." Although Yanayev was a little disappointed, Kadyrov was willing The phone call shows that there is hope that the Chechen issue can be resolved through peaceful dialogue.

The only thing Yanayev has to do now is to wait for the news of General Rogionov's triumphant victory from the front.

Chapter 123 Burning Hell

After experiencing the last dying struggle, Grozny finally arrived at the difficult situation facing the army.When the Soviet army surrounded the entire city from all directions, no matter how many Western weapons the defenders in the city had, they could not change the reality that they were surrounded.
